Disney villain songs
Here you'll find all the songs performed by villains of Disney movies (which also expand to their stage adaptations). Along you'll find context (composers and performers, movie/musical song comes from + trivia).
Pictured: Scar, from 'The Lion King' (1994), singing 'Be Prepared'. A personal choice of mine since it's my favorite movie ever ;)
Will be slowly updated.
- Written by Elton John and Tim Rice.
- From 'The Lion King' (1994).
- Performed in the film and soundtrack by Jeremy Irons (Scar), with Whoopi Goldberg (Shenzi), Cheech Marin (Banzai), and Jim Cummings (Ed). It was later revealed that Cummings did most of Scar's singing since Jeremy's voice had an issue.
- Written by Elton John and Tim Rice.
- From 'The Lion King' Broadway musical (1997).
- Performed by Kevin Cahoon (Ed), Tracy Nicole Chapman (Shenzi) and Stanley Wayne Mathis (Banzai).
- This new song, written for the musical, appears as the hyenas show up to eat Simba and Nala at the Elephant Graveyard.
- Written by Elton John and Tim Rice.
- From 'The Lion King' Broadway musical (1997).
- Performed by Kevin Cahoon (Ed), Tracy Nicole Chapman (Shenzi), Stanley Wayne Mathis (Banzai), Geoff Hoyle
(Zazu) and John Vickery (Scar). Also features brief appearances by Heather Headley (Nala).
- This new song, written for the musical, appears to show how delirious Scar became after rising to the throne.
- It was planned, but ultimately deleted, from the original 1994 movie, due to its heavy thematics. It also had a sexual connotation that wasn't suitable for a family movie.
- Written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.

- Performed by Pat Carroll (Ursula).
- Written by Alan Menken.

- Written by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
- From 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (1996).
- Performed by Tony Jay (Judge Claude Frollo).
- This is considered one of the darkest Disney songs, as it deals with lust, sin and other heavier stuff.
- Written by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
- From 'Anastasia' (1997).
- Performed by Christopher Lloyd (speaking) and Jim Cummings (singing), both as Rasputin.
- Written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice.

I think a Musical for 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' was in the works, not sure if it ever got done but a Soundtrack was produced:

This version of 'Hellfire' is sung by Patrick Page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunchback_of_Notre_Dame_(musical)#Engl...
